About the Client

Renay Martyn, the proprietor of the academy, reached out to me with a request for a website redesign, incorporating a fresh design and additional content, as well as enhancements for search engine optimization (SEO).

Project Goals

The website's objective is to deliver a user-friendly experience while cultivating trust among its visitors. The website's design should prioritize ease of navigation, mobile responsiveness, and, most importantly, provide comprehensive information about the academy.
Instructors Section

From the perspective of students and their parents, it is crucial for them to have access to information about the coaches and trainers. The previous website was deficient in introducing the instructors. Therefore, in the website redesign, I have implemented an ‘Instructors’ section to showcase the coaches and their qualifications.

Testimonials Section

Social proof plays a significant role in establishing trust and credibility for a website. Recognizing that the old website lacked any form of social proof, I have integrated a ‘Testimonial’ section to showcase and highlight this important aspect.

KMA-Darwin Website

In conclusion, the website design process for KMA Darwin was guided by a combination of both simplicity and bold design, ensuring ease of navigation throughout the site. The design was intentionally kept straightforward, as the website’s visitors span various age groups, including both children and their parents.

Furthermore, the design was optimised for search engines to achieve a prominent position on Google’s first page and generate a higher volume of leads.
